"Ohio Sheriff Offers to Help Celebrities Leave The U.S. If Trump Wins, On One Condition ..."
I love this!
Thank you, Sheriff Rick Jones, for saying what a lot of us have wanted to say to those celebrities who threaten to leave the U.S. if Trump wins (and who threatened last election). I applaud you, and I add my message to those celebrities (and anyone else) who think they have the right to demand that everything be their way or who threaten to move from the country if they don't get their way:
"Good ... leave! We don't want your snotty, cry-baby whining here anyway! We don't want your arrogant attitudes where you think you're better than all of us lowly, common folk. We don't want you preaching to us about how we should think, how we should vote, what our values should be, etc., especially when you contribute to some of the most wretched, immoral, godless filth in entertainment and live it out in your own lives too.
Who do you think you are!?! You are just actors and ballplayers and singers, etc. That's what we pay you for, what we give you our hard-earned money for - to entertain us, not to preach to us. But you have turned your celebrity positions, movies, ballgames, and songs (and let's not forget the mainstream media and social media) into platforms for manipulating and shaming others, for preaching your views to us. And now you are threatening to leave if we don't vote the way you want, as if people so couldn't live without you that they'd change their vote just to make sure you stay!?!
Well, I say, 'Good, go! You'd be doing us a favor. Take your godless, anti-American, ungrateful, immoral attitudes with you, and don't come back! Go see if you'd do better in a country with stricter laws, with a dictator, with no police, with little food or somewhere like that. Maybe they'll worship you over there the way you want to be worshipped, because I think your arrogance has ended celebrity-worship over here. So don't tease us. Don't get our hopes up. Don't threaten to leave unless you're actually going to do it. And believe it or not, we'd do just fine without you!'"
